Heh, and they say old cars are easy to work on.

It's all about familiarity. These old cars were the norm and "new-fenagled" cars were foreign.

Now all these cars with plastic engine covers, cramped engine bays with less-obvious dip stick placement, and a million computers, push button start and ebrake and gear selector, bar code VIN's to define exactly what the car accepts......yada yada yada

...now our "simple" but uncommon old cars are just too foreign and people can't figure it out.


Obviously some people really are stupid but that's not my point.
My point is these new kids aren't stupid, they're just inexperienced with old simple cars.

Some of you guys have some real horror stories.
I don't want to get too old to work on my stuff, but I'm 32 and I don't know if I'll even own/daily-drive combustion cars in 30-40 years when my back and knees are worn out.
Hard to admit that now, but who knows...
